Sony BD Remote pairing problems with new distributions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




My sony BD remote (aka PS3 remote) requires a convoluted process to get it working each and every time my computer boots. A description of the process I must use is here:

In short, I must hold down shift+enter on the remote to pair the device, kill some processes, and start some processes each time the computer boots.

This apparently did not used to be necessary with some older distributions. For example, this was not necessary under Ubuntu 8.04, but is necessary under Ubuntu 8.10:

I am running 64-bit Gentoo, kernel 2.6.27.10. I've tried both the 2.25 userspace and the 4.21 userspace with no luck.

My questions are: Are you guys aware of this problem? Is there any known fix, besides downgrading to an older distribution?

thanks,
Jim Faulkner
